At the Japanese Legation, Washing
ton, the Minister, Mr.. Kuki, and his
wife, gave a large reception recently.
The Japanese Government owns its Le

exquisitely decorated with flowers for
the occasion. Mrs. Kuki received her
guests in a charming toilet OF heliOtrOpe
faille, with draperies on the corsage and
skirt of sage green Grape embroidered in
gold and colors. A valenciennes lace
fiounced the skirt and finished the high
guimpe corsage. In the line of ladies
assisting her were Mrs. Carter, wife of
the Hawaiian Minister, in lemon-colOred
MORE and lace; Mrs. Gomez, wife Of
the Secretary of the Brazilian Legation,
in white MORE and lace; Miss Kuki, i'll
white Grape and lace; and Mrs. S. NJ.
Bryan, in white brocade trimmed with
duchesse lace. There were many hand
some toilets worn by the ladies present.
At one of Mrs. Cleveland S fortnightly
receptions at the White House the Chi
nese Minister, with six of his secretaries
and his physician, made quite a stir
when they entered. The Minister wore
an amethyst colored coat over pearl
colored skirts and his high black satin
boots. The large diamond usually worn
on the front of his cap was replaced to-
day by a large pearl and large sar-
donyx. His secretaries wore gorgeous
in pale blue, pearl, plum and greenish
yellow garments, and one of the secreta-
ries was accompanied by his young son
in exquisitely fresh blue robes.

the stomach, which when lanced discharged

formed under her arm, and three on her back
which discharged matter for a considerable
time. For six months of this time she was con
fined 10 the house, and most of the time in bed
The stomach often refused food, by rejecting
what she had eaten. She used a great deal of
medicine, but failed 10 be cured. l bought one
bottle of your B. B. B. (made in Atlanta Ga }
and gave it 10 her, and she commenced to i'm
prove. then bought and gave her three bot
ties more, and she continued 10 improve, aud in
two months time her cough had ceased her
ton good, all discharges ceased, nodes or knots
disappeared and she went TO work apparently
healthy and fatiened up greatly
This woman had a married sister Of near the
same age who was affected in precisely the same
way and about the same time. She had node or
knot on pit of stomach, back etc. She did not
take any b. b. b., and the node on her stomach
ate through to the cavity. She continued on

ers, cartride belt, large knife and belt
and some dice. In valise they had two
bottles of whisky, a broad waist belt,
black-snake whip and other requisites for
cowboy life. The third ticket was for a
companion named Simon of about the
same age, who managed to elude the po-
liceman. All the money they had was
81 20, but having attended the dime
museums in town, they had become
fired with desire to become cowboys,
and Notwithstanding the low standing of
their finances they had determined to

ascertained where they got the money to
buy their outfits and tickets. Texas has

A VERDICT OF ACQUITTAL.
The Termination of a Sensational Murder
Trial at Kaufman.

Trial at Kaufman.
Special to the Gazette.
KAUFMAN, TEX, Jan. "A sensational
murder trial terminated here last night in
q verdict of acquittsl in the case of the
State vs.. Lum Bowles, charged with muir
dering R. II. Pemberton on June 8, 1886.
Bowles is thirty years old and now q
widower, but was married at the
time of the tragedy. Pemberton was
about sixty years of age and q widower.
Bowles is member of q good family
identified with this county since its
earliest settlement. He has led rather
reckless life. Pemberton had been in
Kaufman county about dozen years,
coming from Dallas county. He had the
reputation of being a hog-thief and
had served term on the Kaufman county
poor-farm for hog-stealing, his old age
alone saving him from the penitentiary.
Pemberton and Bowles had had a diff
Guilty about Matte Beard, young and
buxom widow of the neighborhood in
which they resided, several miles from
the town of kaufman. Both had been on
intimate terms with her, and had
created 8 neighborhood scandal.
Each of them claimed that he was
entitled to the woman's preference of
companionship. On the day of the
tragedy Pemberton went out to hunt his
stray horses. He and Bowles met A
quarrel resulted and Bowles shot Penn
berton to death in the public road as
Pemberton was running away from
him. Bowles made no effort
to escape and since the tragedy
has been out on bond. Among the wit
nesses was the still handsome young
widow Matte Beard and a daughter of
the dead Pemberton, a Mrs. Perkins,
aged about twenty, ana as pretty as
picture. Some of the testimony was
sensational and intensely interesting.
The verdict of the jury meets with
division of sentiment as to its business.
